Patient Endurance

Hebrews 10:35 
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. (NLT)

We begin early in life to make lists of what we want--for birthdays, Christmas, marriage, new babies, and more. Then we look for others to give those things they have promised us. We do not always get all we asked for.

God's word is filled with promises to us. As we continue to abide in His word and do His will, He fulfills those promises in the timing important to our individual growth in our transformation walk.

What we need is trust; our fully trusting God. We do not get to make our own list of wants like our birthday or Christmas presents. Of course we can ask for anything, but He chooses if and when always looking to it lining up with His word.

All we need to do is continue to do God's will. Then in time, with patience, we will receive all that he has promised.
